Except that bad optics are rarely fatal....in fact it could be argued that they're not even dangerous or indeed, barely exist, since the crimes against Assange are suppressed in the corporate media. When you have the whole system sewn up and every institution has been captured, you probably don't lose much sleep over optics. And even to the extent that they do exist, UK mandarins have been demonstrating how far below kowtowing to the US such concerns rank on their priority scale for decades now. If these concerns don't prevent you from murdering a couple of million people in Iraq alone, let alone engaging in all the many dirty wars and operations the UK has been called upon to sponsor in recent years, it certainly won't stop you from judicially lynching a journalist if the Godfather commands it. At least not without a huge public outcry. Very disturbing what you write about his lawyers though. He needs to get a new legal team to represent him, though I have no idea how that could be done at this point. |
